Brand Innovation, creativity, technology, quality materials In the past, uchnops designers have worked with a wide variety of production systems, techniques (wood and metal working, 3D printing, etc) and materials (wood, ceramics, metals, precious metals, carbon fibre, fibre glass, Corian, composite materials, etc) in product design. We always keep an open-mind throughout the whole process of designing and making a product, allowing natural curiosity to nourish imagination and experimentation. It is at this stage that we often build what could be called a task force - an ad hoc work team meant to channel the different skills needed to achieve the desired outcome. Two key concepts are ubiquitous in every project we develop: ergonomics and aesthetics. Uchnops relishes new projects and collaborations with other brands and we are always eager to embrace our clients challenges. Our ethos rests on the belief that there is a sophisticated, design cognoscenti audience ready to be challenged by the way we shape matter.
